Machop Returns for Pokémon Go's May 2025 Community Day Classic

As the Might and Mastery season in Pokémon Go nears its epic finale, the Community Day Classic event is set to spotlight the formidable Machop. Mark your calendars for May 24th, from 2:00 to 5:00 pm local time, when the Superpower Pokémon will dominate the wild, offering another chance to enhance your Fighting-type collection with this classic powerhouse.

Whether you're in pursuit of a robust Machamp or hoping to capture that elusive Shiny Machop, this event is your golden window. Machop will appear more frequently, and with a bit of luck, you might just snag a Shiny variant in Pokémon Go.

Evolving a Machoke during the event or up until May 31st at 10:00 pm local time will grant you a Machamp equipped with the Charged Attack Payback. This Dark-type move packs a punch with 110 power in Trainer Battles and 95 power in raids and Gyms.

For those eager to dive deeper, the Community Day exclusive Special Research story is available for $1.99. This offers a Premium Battle Pass, Rare Candy XL, additional Machop encounters, and three Machop with a Seasonal Special Background.

Moreover, the Timed Research provides additional motivation to log in. Completing tasks post-event will reward you with a Machop encounter featuring a Might and Mastery-themed Special Background and increased Shiny odds. Remember, these tasks must be completed by May 31st. Don't miss out on using *Pokémon Go codes* to claim a variety of freebies!

The event bonuses include 3x Catch Stardust, three-hour Lure Modules and Incense, and surprise photo encounters. Field Research and PokéStop Showcases further your opportunities to earn Stardust, Great Balls, and Machop encounters with special backgrounds.

To cap it all off, starting May 14th, the Pokémon Go Web Store will offer an Ultra Community Day Box for $1.99, including two Rare Candies and a Special Research ticket.
